AFF Badge of Honor
 

I read on another forum that to be talked about on AFF was a "badge of honor."

The post was in reference to the WPF being discussed on AFF. Terrible that there is such division among us.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

And usually over such silly things.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Indeed.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

I assume that you mean by being "talked about on AFF" being "a badge of honor", the poster meant being spoken of in a bad light or ridiculed on AFF?

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Yes, it appeared to be the case.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Then I find humor in that statement, the primary ones bashed here appear to be homosexuals, and those without morals. As far as standards pretty much anything goes here apparently.

So just how far out are these guys who were bashed?

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Oh, Brother, I don't believe that was the case.

The comment was made about the WPF being discussed on AFF.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

I dunno about that.

We are an "equal bashing" group.
Liberals bash Conservatives
and
Conservatives bash Liberals.

and we all consider ourselves to be Moderates
so anyone who doesn't see things the way we personally do is out of adjustment.

Bro Sam,

Did not say there is not plenty of manure spread in every direction around here oft times.

But I believe you'll admit the biggest dog piles come on threads like-Did you see what Jakes wore to the wedding and who he has been hanging around?

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

That is where the inconsistency comes to play.

I do understand the politics.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Perhaps the simple truth is there are many at either end of the spectrum who must put down others in order to feel good about themselves.

I preach Acts 2:38 and holiness, and believe them to be the only way to God.

But part of the fruit of the spirit is show love not mockery.

Those who have strayed from the path of holiness are to be prayed for not mocked.

And those who say thank God I am not longer a legalist often turn around and mock those doing their best to live for God AND those who don't meet THEIR standards.

Yes it is ironic.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

I like the AFF and am glad we have all colors and types here...

Many of us do not enjoy bashing anyone....however bashers exist in every camp.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Post of the day!!

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Praise the Lord!

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Amen!

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

I think that most perceived badges of honor is the typical ultra-conservative mindset for being persecuted for Christ. You know - the self-righteous stuff that the Pharisees and Sadducees were good at in the New Testament.

Did I say, "I HATE legalism?". Let them gloat over their badges with pride.

Blessings,
Rhoni

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

I guess I fall into your category of feeling fantastic that I am not bound by legalism any longer:santathumb

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Aren't you the lady who seemed surprised when her application to get on JP was turned down?

:shockamoo

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Sister,

I believe that was the point the minister was making.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

NW, LB... KH and others aren't immoral homosexuals! And they, along with the entire UPCI has been bashed on here.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

I know it was but it appears I am a judgemental non-judgementalist:christmoose

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

I was being good over there and I am very conservative in Biblical doctrinal issues. I just take issue with extra-biblical/man-made rules and regulations. However, I will say and it is known of me that I do conform to those extra-biblical things when in Rome [which is JP in this case] :christmoose

Blessings, Rhoni

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

El Predicador, I appreciate your post. Very accurate. Both are trying to correct the other with a huge beam in their eye. Calling the other a hater of men, while they have dead bodies piled around them. Life and death is in the tongue.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

It is difficult to be non-judgemental when making a judgemental statement isn't it?:gotcha

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Well when Rome "[which is JP in this case]" the Romans may take issue with your opinion over "what is extra-Biblical/man-made rules and regulations" and what is proper conduct for one who wishes to be modest, holy, and separated unto the Lord.

And since you DO conform to those teachings when it is convenient I take it none of them are unacceptable or unholy to you?

:hook

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Having a judgement about the matter isn't what's in question. It's the means of which one makes a judgement. Is it gossip? Is it mean-spirited? Is it untruths? Is it edifying? Is it honest? Is it conducive toward godliness?

"Let the spiritual judge..." God has no problem with us making judgements. In fact, woe to the person that doesn't know how to make judgements.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Absolutely not. I have no issue with individuals who make the choice to live by what they consider a more than modest dress standard for themselves. Everyone has to work out their own salvation and live according to their personal convictions. I have a personal conviction about certain things that I adhere to not expecting others to do or not do as I choose.

The reason I can do as they do in Rome at times is because I have always stood by the philosophy that when one works for employer there is rules one must adhere to and some of them are dress related, the same thing goes for churches. There are so many different sets of rules/standards. One must do as the church teaches where they go whether one believes it to be salvational or not.
Blessings, Rhoni

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Hummm....so then the judgement you judged with is more "spiritual" than that which I judge by?:hook

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

My judgement was a general opinion. I don't have a spirituality gauge. Let every man be judged by his works and actions.

With this logic, one would believe in pluralism and deny absolutes. Someone has to judge. This is scriptural. It's not a contest. I don't even know you, Rhoni. I'm sure you are a sweet woman.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

I am a sweet woman:santathumb A spiritual one also.

Blessings, Rhoni

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Aren't we ALL spiritual creatures? :gotcha

You seem sweet! I've read your postings over the past year.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Thank you. I do love Jesus, but sometimes people get on my last nerves...especially when the hormones are fluctuating.

Blessings, Rhoni

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Yet another happy AFF couple.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Would someone please expose my faults here on AFF, so I can feel that I've been persecuted for Christ? :D

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

LOL!

You're backslidden - you attend CC!

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

You're a music major, isn't that shame enough?

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Well..................I can't think of any, except you sell pianos to heathens dontcha?:christmoose

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Thanks! Because of you, I now feel closer to God! :)

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

Wow, that didn't take long.

Re: AFF Badge of Honor
 

I REALLY do!!!!! :irule
